The Devils jumped out to an early lead, thanks to Zach Parise and they made it 2-0 on a shorthanded goal from Anssi Salmela. But, Salmela took a vicious elbow from Jeff Carter on the play and had to be carted off on a stretcher. The cheap shot invigorated the Flyers, who came back with three-straight, blitzing Martin Brodeur with 37 shots, to win the game 3-2.
